[QUOTE="Danny, post: 1482611, member: 11002"] You can request a copy of his DD Form 214 which will list his awards. Check with your local VFW and they can assist you on who to contact to get those medals. Hobby Lobby does have those cases for a reasonable price. We used one for my Dad. We put the flag in the upper portion, and in the bottom portion is a picture of him in his uniform centered. To the right (like it would be above his left breast pocket) are his medals. I lined up the ribbons above each actual medal. On the left were his qualification badges like his CIB, Marksman awards, etc. To the left of those I lined up several of the spent casings from his farewell salute that was fired at the burial by the VFW color guard. I think I used 7 as there were 7 shooters firing three times. I think it would be fully appropriate for you to display all of them however, and wherever you wish. They fought for that right. [/QUOTE]
